Explaining the Faith - How to Bring Loved Ones Back to the Church

Fr Chris Alar, MIC

The number of fallen-away Catholics in the United States has risen dramatically over the 

past 10 years and a Pew Research study reports that 50% of young Americans who were raised Catholic no longer are. Fr. Chris Alar, MIC is joined by Brandon Vogt, author of “Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church” to discuss how through better evangelization, we can bring our loved ones back to the Church.
